Dessert Day # 3 - A celebration of Nutella.

I'm not feeling particularly well. A combination of Jorge being a jerkface, emotional distress about the week ahead, and coming down off the sugar high from all the nutella that was consumer today (ie A LOT).

So, I'm going to keep this short on the words and heavy on the pictures. One, I had another fantastic time cooking with Melbourne on my mind - who you should congratulate because she's the 20 Something Blogger featured blogger of the month!

I'm not a giant chocolate cake lover. I don't know what it is though, but ganache (a sexy word, no?) oozing down the side of a cake just does it for me. You know?

Ooooooh, yeah, baby.

The pound cake....well, look. It wouldn't be dessert day without some...minor set backs. Note to self, use baking paper next time...But this cake is DIVINE. You basically take a tub of nutella and swirl it through your basic pound cake. Cut me off a slice of that.

For those of you keeping track at home (and I imagine you are with bated breath) these two recipes make number 14 and 15 on my life list)

Boo to the inevitable sugar coma and the Jorge being a bitch part, as I said earlier. You know, I honestly think I'm going to have to make that loaf cake sometime this week because my stomach keeps asking me for more, even though I have 3/4 of the Nutella cake on the bench in the kitchen...

Also, did we dust the tin with flour as well as greasing it? That might be the cause of the debacle...

Good morning from the US! I first discovered Nutella a few months ago while searching for something my 11 year old would eat. I have spent many an afternoon dunking pretzels in the chocolately goodness. Yum!
